861.77 Chinese Eastern/633: Telegram
The Minister in Costa Rica (Davis) to the Secretary of State
[Received 4:30 p.m.]
75. Department’s circular telegram of December 3 [1], 4 p.m. The Minister for Foreign Affairs has orally informed me that the Costa Rican Government yesterday instructed its Minister at Paris to communicate its views to diplomatic representatives of China and Russia along lines similar to those expressed by the Government of the United States.
Since the Costa Rican Government does not maintain a diplomatic mission in China and has not previously made any gesture toward establishing diplomatic relations with Russia (see the Legation’s despatch No. 1216, May 16, 192892) the Costa Rican Minister at Paris was instructed to follow the mode of procedure adopted by other nations in a similar position, acting jointly with such nations in making representations to diplomatic representatives of China and Russia or acting independently.
